Maybe the title should have been "the monster living in your PC box" Btw careful cleaning though "Disclaimer: PCWorld is not responsible if you turn your computer into a massive paperweight after trying one of the tips you're about to read. Cleaning a computer isn't rocket science, but certain techniques do carry more risk than others." www.pcworld.com/article/224328/how_to_clean_your_pc_inside_and_out.html |

Never let mine get anywhere near like that.
Cleaned it yesterday, took a few hours, I'm pretty meticulous with it.
Never had a frog on my GPU like the pic in the link had the odd spider get sliced up by a fan a few times though.

My desktop is open to the world and the cat and her kittens too and a weekly blast from a power blower is all that is needed and done to keep it fluff free.

Power blower for me.
I lay the PC on the factory floor and blast away.

Power blowers cause static build up and can allegedly damage sensitive components.
Mini paint brush for me once every 4-6 months, could knit a jumper with the amount of dust that gets pulled out.

I bought a spray to use on the overheating laptop last month. Sprayed it into the vent thingy and it is working perfectly.
But i am sure that when i get my pc back from a friend's house it will be full of my ex-cats' fur and his golden's fur. Shall be in need of a good clean or the bin.
For my keyboards i use a large make up brush.

For my keyboards i use a large make up brush. Not sure what spray that was, but I don't like the sound of "spraying INTO". With laptops it's easy to remove the backcover, blow from inside into the vent, clean the backside cover, blow a bit over and into the box, very carefully use the brush on non-electric parts that is NOT on the printer circuits. Just my 7-1/2 cents |

Probably one of the safest ways as long as the computer is allowed to dry well. |
